  <description><![CDATA[Security policies define rules for access control, authentication, or authorization of entities in a system. With the increase in interest in web based e-commerce, the amount of business that is transacted on-line and the explosion in the amount of services available, the ability to
handle security and privacy is a must. Also, as computationally enabled devices (laptops, phones, PDAs, and even household appliances) become more commonplace and short range wireless connectivity improves; there...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[The past few years have seen significant work in mobile data management, typically based on the client/proxy/server model. Mobile/wireless devices are treated as clients that are data consumers only, while data sources are on servers that typically reside on the wired network. With the advent of pervasive computing environments, an alternative scenario arises where mobile devices gather and exchange data from not just wired sources, but also from their ethereal environment and one another.

  <description><![CDATA[Security is a critical problem in dynamic and open distributed
environments such as those enabled by the semantic web and pervasive computing technologies. The presence of heterogeneous entities that
are neither pre-determined nor permanent, and the lack of central
control are some of its challenges.  We believe that declarative
policies address this problem while maintaining openness and
flexibility.  We propose the use of policies defined in OWL to

  <description><![CDATA[There have been two parallel themes in access control research in
recent years.  On the one hand there are efforts to develop new access
control models to meet the policy needs of real world application
domains. In parallel, and almost separately, researchers have
developed policy languages for access control.  This paper is
motivated by the consideration that these two parallel efforts need to
develop synergy.  A policy language in the abstract without ties to a

devices in pervasive environments. MANETs provide inexpensive and
versatile communication, yet several challenges remain in addressing
their security.  So far, numerous schemes have been proposed for

  <description><![CDATA[We state the benefits of transitioning from taxonomies to ontologies and ontology specification languages, which are able to simultaneously serve as recognition, reporting and correlation languages. We have produced an ontology specifying a model of computer attack using the DARPA Agent Markup Language+Ontology Inference Layer, a descriptive logic language. The ontologyrsquos logic is implemented using DAMLJessKB. We compare and contrast the IETFrsquos IDMEF, an emerging standard that uses XM...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[In this paper we describe a policy language designed
for pervasive computing applications that is based on deontic
concepts and grounded in a semantic language. The
pervasive computing environments under consideration are
those in which people and devices are mobile and use various
wireless networking technologies to discover and access
services and devices in their vicinity. Such pervasive
environments lend themselves to policy-based security due
to their extremely dynamic nature. Us...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[The newly formed Department of Homeland Security has been mandated to reduce America's vulnerability to terrorism. In addition to being charged with physical protection, this newly formed department is also responsible for protecting the nation's critical infrastructure. Protecting computer systems from intrusions is an important aspect of securing the nation's infrastructure. We are exploring how fuzzy data mining and concepts introduced by the semantic Web can operate in synergy to perform ...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Traditionally, stand-alone computers and small networks rely on
user authentication and access control to provide security. These
physical methods use system-based controls to verify the identity
of a person or process, explicitly enabling or restricting the ability
to use, change, or view a computer resource. However, these
strategies are inadequate for the increased flexibility that distributed
networks such as the Internet and ubiquitous/pervasive computing

  <description><![CDATA[Policies guide the way entities within a domain act, by providing
rules for their behavior. Most of the research in policies is within a
certain application area, for example security for databases, and
there are no general specifications for policies. Another problem
with policies is that they require domain dependent information,
forcing researchers to create policy languages that are bound to the
domains for which they were developed. This prevents policy
languages from being flexib...]]></description>

Current research indicates that a distributed intrusion detection paradigm may afford
greater coverage, consequently providing an increase in security. In some cases, DIDS offer an
alternative to centralized analysis, consequently improving scalabity. SHOMAR, the distributed
architecture presented in this paper, provides an open framework that enables secure access to

across domains that handles complex inter domain trust relationships. We have developed a flexible representation of trust
information in Prolog, that can model permissions and delegations. We are currently working on modeling obligations,
entitlements, and prohibitions as well. This paper describes a scheme for restricting re-delegation without using a specific

One among the major privacy concerns is the ability of rogue RFID readers to access the unique identifier of RFID tags.

formidable security vulnerabilities, RFID finds applications from supply
chain management to tracking personnel. A rogue RFID reader being able to
query a RFID tag for its unique identifier or eavesdrop on the identifier is
a major security concern. One-way hashing, cryptography and one-time pads
